The board, led by Syed Jalaluddin Umri, met the law panel chief on Tuesday and said that they were told that this was "not the appropriate time for Uniform Civil Code in the country".
The All India Muslim Personal Law Board claimed on Tuesday that law commission chairman Justice (retired) BS Chauhan has told the board that Uniform Civil Code was not possible to implement in the country for the next 10 years. The board, led by Syed Jalaluddin Umri, met the law panel chief on Tuesday and said that they were told that this was "not the appropriate time for Uniform Civil Code in the country".
In a statement, the board also said that they had categorically told the commission that it does not agree with Uniform Civil Code. "The board considers that the citizen of this country follows different religious, cultures, traditions and lives accordingly. It has also indicated to the commission that following the personal laws in their personal life — be it religion or customary — has not created any difficulty among their followers," the board stated.
"Today, the board has submitted a detailed note on the questions raised by the law commission. In the previous meeting, the chairman of the commission had indicated that working on Uniform Civil Code is not appropriate at this point of time," the board said.
Further, the board stated that the determination of religious principles, traditions and cultures do not fall within the scope of functioning of the government, and accordingly the said issues should not be made part of the law-making process.
The first meeting between the board and the law panel was on May 21 this year. The commission is expected to make a proposal by August-end before Justice Chauhan's tenure ends.
The board also said Justice Chauhan indicated to them that, soon, there would be a step forward to make a proposal to reform civil laws in the background of different religious principles. Therefore the government should neither interfere nor be advised to interference in such areas.
